Author: Sam Andruszkiewicz. So I found myself in a very awkward position on my couch the other day (and I don’t mean some insane Yoga move).

What a moment for the six talented 2011 Telstra Ballet Dancer Award nominees! I remember the sense of shock, numbness and buzzing excitement when my name was announced in 2010; it was so wonderful to relate to the surprised and ecstatic faces.
